The morning I had on cam, the fact that I could go get my nails done all pretty and then on top of that saved about 40% on the service because I miscalculated how expensive it would be. It was way cheaper than expected so I saved money :D

Everybody knows that one person, that anytime you hear from them, there's always a major crisis that they are going through. And if you don't know anybody like that, it's probably you. I don't want to be that person, so it's time to count my blessings.
So right now as we speak, I'm very grateful to have my own washer and dyer in my apartment.

i babysat my friends' 3-year-old today and we had a pretty good time. She used to be shy and suspicious and not let me touch her or her stuffed animals. But now she laughs a lot and gives me the best hugs, and I am lucky for that.

I am thankful that camming has been so awesome for me lately. A couple of months ago I was ready to quit and become a telemarketer again lol.

Perspective and peace. My nervous system had a rest for a few hours today (yes, cereal been that ongoing stress). I love feeling connected into my body/feeling myself.
Elektra Lux, I am afraid to say it but I have/am definitely that person with major crisis everytime: But I am recovering, feeling clearer.

Today i'm grateful for all the things I've been getting in the mail lately and the speed with which they have come! I'm used to waiting MONTHS for stuff, but everything has found its way to me speedily now. It feels like early christmas. I'm also grateful for Sriracha. Yum.

Ikr? Isn't this weather magnificent? I pulled out my winter clothes today. I actually had to go INSIDE the restaurant to eat, it was so cold and overcast. Love it soo much!

Weirdly enough I am grateful for daylight savings. We don't have it in the Southern Hemisphere but it does mean that when I think I'm "late" for a cam shift, I'm actually bang on time.

Grateful for finding a Target that's not crowded.
Tried the local Walmart, but I just can't with that store. Plus, there's a really creepy guy who cleans the ladies room, and he's always c:help:oincidentally standing in front of it trying to talk to me. Nooo!

I am grateful for this grocery delivery service I just found!! I pick everything I want on my laptop at home and they bring it the same day. They even deliver from this bakery and all the little cupcakes and whatever else they make look SO good I think I'm gonna be a fatass soon and get some delivered lol. I hate baking.

Same here. They don't have that in my city yet but they do have a same day store pickup if you order groceries online from sams and target and Walmart. I've tried it for regular items but not for groceries yet. Gotta try this though.
I'm grateful for this fall and the mild weather. It's not as cold as I thought it would be by now thankfully. I enjoy seeing the foliage change colors into bright reds yellows and oranges.

Today I'm grateful for the fact that every outstanding bill in my life is paid off, that I woke up on time for my cam shift and that its summer. I may not always love the sun, but the warmth, I'll have that any day.

Tonight as I walking to my car after work, I saw a man sleeping on the ground with no blankets and using his shoes as a pillow. It's fucking cold out there, it's 8 C/46 F, and he could get pneumonia. Unfortunately, I didn't have any blankets in my car, but I did have my lab coat. It's not much but it's better than nothing, so I made the bouncer give it to him because I was too scared to. Today I'm grateful for my warm bed, cozy blankets, and the ability to complain about making $500 while some people have to sleep on the streets and use shoes for pillows.

This is petty, but I found an unflattering photo of Candice Swanepoel from the VS Fashion Show, and it's totally giving me life. She's ridiculously over-the-top gorgeous, so it calms me down that she could look a bit wonky in a picture because whenever I look dweeby in a picture, I flip out like it's a legit crisis. Supermodels: just like us strippers!

Fresh squeezed orange juice!

And tastes so juicy and delicious.

I'm grateful for the fact that my cupboards and fridge are stocked full, that this week is going really well and for the heatwave we are having. As much as it is annoying, I'd rather be prancing around in tiny shorts than layered up to avoid the cold.

So grateful that I found a colorist that knows how I like my hair done. AND she makes house calls!
$35 to get my roots done, while sitting by my pool. Ah, so thankful.
My hair looks gorgeous!
Also grateful that, after 8 brutal months of summer,I can wear all my winter clothes! And to be able to use my blankets and comforters again. Going to buy a long, fluffy robe today, to help me stay warm in these chilly mornings, and evenings.

I'm really grateful for my boyfriend. he sent me a message, asking if it's ok if he works tomorrow morning (he normally works Mon - Fri, but does extra shifts when they ask him to) because he worked last Saturday too. of course I'm not gonna get in the way of him making more money, but it's so nice that he's considerate and asks if I planned anything special for us this weekend :)
this sounds silly but this is the first boyfriend (and I've had quite a few. ahem.) who does this. he doesn't have to ask for "permission" at all. so happy to have a man who understands me and puts as much effort into the relationship as I do :) getting together with my best friend has definitely been worth the risk so far.

I'm grateful that I've been able to pay my bills, barely working this last month. I've had to sell some stuff on craigslist and eat a lot of ramen, but it's nice to know I can live without dancing. I think I'm just going to have my own "going away party" tomorrow night and try to enjoy my last night as a dancer (at least for several months if not forever. I'll never say never.)

^^^^I started selling household items on craigslist in the past and it saved my a$$ plenty of times. (Glad I have valuable stuff people want to buy second hand) I'd tell people how they could make extra money this way and they'd all be like "oh my gawd, I can't believe you do that. Craigslist is so dangerous and you could get killed." Im like well Ill take my chances but thanks hater. Some of the people are nice - one lady told me to keep the change which was a few extra dollars and another lady emailed me later thanking me for a gently used bathroom decor set. Of course I don't do dumb shit like meet up at night or anywhere non-public but still, its a good way to make some extra cash off the stuff collecting dust in your house that you no longer need.

I've never had any problems selling on craigslist and I've done it for years. There are some horror stories but most people on there are normal. I refuse to live in fear of a .001% chance I'll be murdered by someone answering an ad to buy a printer or a chair. Please...and yes I'll even tell them pick shit up at my place because I'm lazy. They can go ahead and try to stalk/kill me but I'm not going down without a fight cause I can be a crazy bitch too. Challenge accepted!

I am glad for the dancing job. It's not 100% rainbows but it's still better than most jobs I've had. Besides the money, it pushed me in the right direction and changed my personality for better. I give less shit about unimportant things, embraced parts of myself that I am shy about (not necessarily sexual stuff but more like my interests and style), and a "I can do whatever the fuck I want" mentality. I think a lot of the confidence comes from my appearance, not to be shallow or anything but it matters. I take care of myself better, I am healthier because I work out, and having a strong body gave me a strong mind. Knowing that I am stronger, more desirable, and hotter than the people who would criticize me is amazing.

Grateful I have a ride (a nice one at that).
I feel sorry for the lady who asked me for a ride to the bus stop. I wish I could have helped her but I didn't know her and I don't really trust strangers plus it's nice weather outside so she should be alright.

Grateful I have the ability to go home if I want to.
Also grateful I have enough maturity now to realize when I should *probably* take lessons from a pro for a while. Been riding for 15 years and haven't had a lesson in at least 12... have also had my ego inflated by training for others... so the idea of taking lessons kinda stung.
But I want to do mounted shooting and I'm glad I'm mature enough to realize that's one of the hardest sports there is, and that I am going to need some coaching.

Grateful for the hustle I've learned from dancing. It can be applied to literally everything. Like, if you learn how to hustle based on individual situations rather than using a flat hustle for everyone, you will win at life.
